Preface. 


Mr. Stevenson’s reputation as a Collector 1s so well established 
and his kindly personality so pleasantly remembered, that we feel 
his own words may be quoted to show his deep interest in his 
collection, which precluded his retaining therein any but authentic 
specimens. 


A few years ago, Sir Guy Laking, Armorer to King Edward 
VII, and one of the best English authorities on Arms and Armor, 
during a visit to this country, examined this collection, and any 
piece the authenticity of which was questioned, was immediately 
disposed of by Mr. Stevenson. 


As an essayist on Arms and Armor bis deductions were both 
historic and scientific. To quote from one of bis introductions :— 
“The history of ancient arms and armor is a subject interesting 
alike to the Antiquarian, the Historian, and the Painter. To the 
Collector 1t has an intense fascination.” 


“To trace from the earliest period the various changes and’ 
modifications in Armor or the evolution of any particular weapon: 
1s to trace the history of the people to whom 1t belonged, for it has 
been said that the history of man could be written in his arms if 
they had been preserved in an unbroken series 1n all their infinite 
varieties. Hence its interest to the Antiquarian and Historian. 
To the Painter what 1s more. necessary than the knowledge which 
enables him to fix at a glance the period to which any particular 
piece of armor, or weapon belongs ?”’ 


This sale affords a rare opportunity of securing many unusual 
pieces and should immediately attract the attention of Collectors 
whose chances are decreasing with every decade, since authentic 
pieces are being acquired and held as lasting. memorials by the 
museums of the world.
